While you may not be able to buy a ticket on the Millennium Falcon or face danger aboard the Death Star, you can—if you’re the winning bidder—have a suitable companion; one of the R2-D2 droids built for the movies is for sale.
According to the seller, “This exceptional R2-D2 unit was originally built in 1997 for Disney-MGM Studios (now Disney’s Hollywood Studios) at Walt Disney World in Florida. Approved by Lucasfilm Ltd., it made its debut during Star Wars Weekends before operating daily in the beloved “Stars and Motorcars” parade, along with additional guest interactions throughout the park. More than a display piece, this is a fully functioning robotic character and a rare, museum-level artifact from Star Wars history.”
The seller is Animazing Gallery, located in the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas. Regular bidding closes at 10pm EST on Jan 21, so you’ve just a few days to make your move.
